Gentle drizzling, vigorous splashing, thunderous drumming – rain comes in many guises. Hanns Eisler’s 1941 film score Fourteen Ways to Describe Rain was one of his best chamber music works. Today, in the face of accelerating climate change, weather patterns take on a whole new urgency. Inspired by Eisler, Gregor Mayrhofer explores these phenomena in his composition Tipping Points. Fourteen ways to describe climate change, a commissioned work which will be premiered as part of our Biennale, explores pivotal moments for our climate. The physicist and science journalist Harald Lesch will host this dialogue concert.
In search of the hidden biodiversity of Berlin’s cemeteries: Researchers Katharina and Parm von Oheimb explore the fascinating world of snails. Join the pair as they set off on the trail of the slimy molluscs to examine the peculiar habitat they have found between ivy-covered gravestones and mausoleums. Travel with them as they share insights into their research on the impressive biodiversity of tropical land snails. During the evening's journey, they will report on the endangered diversity of their favourite gastropods, and explain why these creatures are severely affected by the current extinction of species.How to find us, address and more

Botticelli, Titian and their contemporaries also dealt with endangered nature, with real and fictitious paradises and with their loss. In the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Germany’s largest collection of art on paper, a selection of drawings and prints from the Renaissance and Baroque periods gives an idea of the fascinating diversity of the subject matter. Perhaps art can even be a place where threatened paradises can be saved and preserved and thus continue to offer refuge and inspiration?How to find us, address and more
For decades, ecologist Zoe Lucas has been researching the flora and fauna on Sable Island, a remote island off the east coast of Canada, and documenting an ecosystem largely unaffected by human influence. Experimental filmmaker Jacquelyn Mills accompanies her, capturing her meticulous work on 16 mm film and immersing herself in the deep structures and beauty of life by editing and distorting the material. Nature appears as an overwhelming place of stillness and perpetual growth and decay, with large quantities of plastic waste highlighting the threat to this world.
